I'm nearly at the point where I need to cut the tiles to follow the curve of the shower tray and wondered if anyone had any tools or tips thay can recommend to do this job. I've layed all the tiles out on the floor and done the majority of the cuts as a dry fit including putting the tray on. It looks more like caulk than Silicon.
Have you seen where the cut edge of the tile is in relation to the edge of the quadrant? One solution could be to remove all Silicon (or caulk) and apply a consistent size bead all around. Removing tiles over UFH is dodgy. Was self levelling compound used over the top of the cables?
This video shows how to cut a curved tile on a traditional scribe and snap tile cutter. Cutting a curved tile is often necessary when tiling up to a quadrant shower tray or similar. have you tiled all the way down the floor, or did you stop where the shower tray sits? Agree with @koolpc, put the effort now into removing the tiles and fitting the tray underneath.
I've seen plenty of shower leaks due to tray being fitted afterwards, no matter how much you silicone it's never good. Also you'll have a larger gap to fill with silicone around the top of the tray which doesn't. How to cut floor tiles around shower tray in the Best Floor Tiles on Tilers Forums.
#tilesetting #howtotile #bathroomdesign In this video we are showing you full process on how to Tile a Bathroom, its made easy and simple to understand. Follow along and tile a bathroom yourself. Surely there must be an easy way, or even a difficult way, to fit tiles neatly around a quadrant? It must have been done so many times.
Is it better to cut with a saw freehand, or use small straight cuts somehow? Tiles in question are 40cm x 40cm and about 6mm thick. I would have put them down before the tray but the instructions (for the tray) said not. If anyone can give me the brilliantly.
Cutting and Setting Tiles: Follow along as we demonstrate how to cut tiles to fit the curved shape of the shower floor and lay them out in a pattern that complements the design of your bathroom. Area under quadrant shower tray has two more layers of WBP, in the same shape as the tray but slightly smaller, so the tray overhangs by about 2cms. I have fully tiled the floor, cutting tiles in a curve so they slot under the shower tray shape.
It looks well. However, the shower tray is probably a little bit higher than I should have made it. Anyway, one wall will continue around the room half height and the other wall will stop with a trim at the edge of the shower cubical.
So would it look ok the have a whole tile in the middle and cuts on both sides all the way up? Or do I attempt two full tiles all the way up?
